DEAR LILLIAN, HANG IN THERE! I KNOW OF YOUR DISPAIR. JUST THE OTHER NIGHT I LAY IN BED PRAYING THAT GOD WOULD END THE SUFFERING AND TAKE ME ON TO HEAVEN. I AM SOOOO READY. BUT I HAVE A SON AND REMEMBER HE NEEDS ME. I HAVE HAD 8 OR 9 OPERATIONS FOR THIS-CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW MANY ANYMORE. I JUST GOT A COPY OF MY MEDICAL REPORTS FROM MY LAST SURGERY IN MARCH-FOR HERNIA OPERATION-THOUGHT I HAD ONE BUT ACTUALLY HAD 7! THE REPORT GOES ON AND ON ABOUT ADHESIONS AND HOW THE PATIENT DOESNT UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY OR PAIN ASSOCIATED WITH ADHESIONS! MY COLON AND BLADDER HAD ATTATCHED ITSELF TO THE PELVIC WALL AND HE FEELS "CONFIDEN'T" THEY GOT IT REMOVED FROM THE WALL. ALSO STATED HE FOUND "GREEN-BLUISH" SUTURE IN THE BLADDER FROM A PREVIOUS SURGERY AND HAS NO IDEA WHY THAT WAS THERE. GOES ON TO STATE THAT "PATIENT" IS "FIXATED" ON THE IDEA THAT MY CONDITON STARTED FROM A OVARIAN REMNAT. HE THINKS ITS SCAR TISSUE. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM THAT MY GYNYCOLOGIST HAD ONLY EXPLAINED IT TO ME IN THOSE TERMS-OVARIAN REMNANT-NEVER MENTIONING ADHESIONS! DOCTORS ARE AWFUL! THEY THINK YOU DON'T HAVE THE COMMON SENSE TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON. SO THEY DON'T BOTHER TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING. SORRY TO GO ON ABOUT THIS. JUST HAVING A ROUGH DAY. I'LL KEEP YOU IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
